A while ago I watched a Bryan Peterson video using this technique to create a type of abstract image. He mixed water and oil together and using a macro set-up got these neat looking "little planets".
So I set-up my Olympus TG-4 on the "Microscope" setting and started shooting. It's addictive as you move the droplets around and get different colors by reflecting light off a CD. My mistake was to mix the oil and water too vigorously and creating too many small droplets.
I've included a pic of my set-up. TG-4 on a tripod and aimed over a clear dish containing the oil & water.
